Bug report Can't install anything
Since kernel 6.12.101 release, it keeps failing on building itself and just doesn't let me install some stuff like mybash as it just FAILS on building itself. I don't know if this is MX Linux specific but I'm using MX Linux and it is failing. Hope it gets fixed before I need to change to another distro to just install software I need. :/

Si los números de línea coinciden con esto (6906 y 6969), aplicar:
sudo sed -i '6906s/KERNEL_VERSION(6, 13, 0)/KERNEL_VERSION(6, 12, 101)/' /usr/src/8812au-5.13.6/os_dep/linux/ioctl_cfg80211.c

Recompilar y desatascar:
sudo dkms install -m 8812au -v 5.13.6 -k 6.12.101+deb13-amd64 --force
sudo dkms install -m rtl8821cu -v 5.12.0 -k 6.12.101+deb13-amd64 --force

two things....debian changed a value somewhere in the new kernel and a couple of the rtl88 packages do not build there modules correctly. those are being updated now. The messages provided by apt actually say what packages are the problem (although not the shortened version in the screenshot).. YOu can also remove the packages, and the installation of the new kernels will complete.

PS : it just makes stuff so much longer to install bruh. Gotta wait till it fails building the module so I can do shit.

I saw the same errors today doing an upgrade. Considered rolling back via Timeshift but after a reboot everything seemed to behave, so I have left it as is fow now. I didn't try any new installs.

Resolved the issue using instructions in the forum. Running OK now on kernel .101

Yeah happened to me too.. I just removed my unused wifi drivers and ran dpkg configure -a command and then sudo apt install -f ..then the usual stuff and it worked fine after that

I had the same issue. Manually removed each of the packages causing error. Ran MX Cleanup and removed any old kernel packages. Reboot and all was good again. Updated fine and no more errors.
